Staunton Green 2020

Every Thursday in July at Live Arts in Charlottesville there will be the one woman show, Cry of the Mountain, a documentary play about Mountaintop Removal in Appalachia, conceived and performed by Adelind Horan.

As described on the Live Arts web site: “This is a wonderful and simple piece of theatre in which Adelind portrays a wide variety of people involved with and affected by Mountaintop Removal in Appalachia. The characters are performed verbatim from interviews she conducted last summer while volunteering with iLoveMountains.org.”

Act quickly so you can see “HOME”, for FREE!

HOME is a harrowingly beautiful 90 minute documentary, narrated by Glenn Close – see synopsis below.  But hurry, it will only be available on YouTube for three more days! It may change and/or reinforce your outlook of this fragile, incredibly beautiful and interdependent world we call home…and the urgency for all of us to act decisively, collectively and individually, one act at a time.

Synopsis
In 200,000 years on Earth, humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it is too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth’s riches and change its patterns of consumption.
